“With little money and all the ambition in the world to get healthy, PVSF took my case. Since my treatment, I have gone on to tour the United States, Japan and Europe as a rock musician several times. I was featured on the cover of the SF Weekly in September 2009 as a prominent new Bay Area musician and now am a pop music writer for bigger artists on major labels. Thanks PVSF!”
